She let her golden hair fall from its tightly knit bun down and around her shoulders. The blue of her eyes was vast and deep, they could entice any man that she wanted. She pursed her lips and blotted the excess lipstick onto a folded tissue as the music slowly faded to silence. She gave her hair a quick tousle as the next song sprang to life and rose from the stool.

“Are you ready for me lover?” she asked as she approached the bed. Again her fingertips danced down the silk restraint and over the coarse-haired leg that was held up by it. She jerked her hand away after feeling a chill from the frigid skin she just touched.

“Oh my, you are cold. Maybe you need someone to warm you up.”

Joy crawled on all fours onto the bed, the fabric swooshed with each motion that she made. She kissed his leg, then his stomach before throwing a leg over his waist, straddling him. Her nails left faint red indents on his chest as she scratched his chest.

“Isn’t this exciting?” she asked.

The man who she straddled to lay still, his wrists and ankles swollen and purple from the fabric restraints, and a large purple welt ran the circumference of his neck. His dark brown eyes slowly glazed as they stared off into the endless patterns of the ceiling’s design. Joy crawled up his unmoving body and passionately kissed his blue lips, staining them red from her thick coating of lipstick. She sighed with delight then jumped suddenly with an astonished look on her face.

“My, my, my,” she said and looked into his eyes, “getting stiff already?”

She kissed him again, deeply this time, forcing her swollen tongue into his unresponsive mouth. As her tongue tickled the roof of his mouth her hand slid slowly up his arm and gently twisted the golden wedding band from his ring finger.

“A very nice ring,” she said as she turned it over in her fingers. Joy squinted in the faint glow of the candlelight as she tried to read the inscription on the inside of the wedding band. “To Oliver, I will love you till the day that I die.” She read in a loving voice. Joy clutched the ring tightly to her chest and wiped away a fake tear.

“Aw, how sweet, but the question is, will she still love you when she finds out your dead?”

Oliver remained motionless, staring through the bedroom’s low ceiling into the vacant abyss one only knows through death.

“No matter,” Joy said with a huff as she unhooked the necklace from underneath her thick hair and let the new charm fall into place with the others. “Let’s just have some fun.”

Joy stretched across Oliver’s lifeless body and cupped her hand around the candle that was almost completely melted. As her gentle puff of breath extinguished the candle and plunged the room into darkness, she smiled knowing that she would never be caught.
